Louisville’s 21c Museum/Hotel, owned by contemporary-art collectors Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson, is planning to open a branch in Cincinnati (downtown in the old Metropole Hotel), so it’s definitely timely. The show was curated by William Morrow, 21c’s museum director.

The exhibition, of about 70 pieces primarily made in this century, shows ever more clearly that CAM wants to be a major player — along with 21c and the Contemporary Arts Center — in presenting contemporary art in Cincinnati.

The Way We Are Now: Selections from the 21c Collection continues at Cincinnati Art Museum through May 15. Go here to read Steven Rosen's full review.
